here's my complete mockup. have to get longer screws and source a starboard rudder assembly and upper and lower pintles that I lost offshore when the transom gave way.
I saw some for sale on here or craigslist a year ago. I almost bought a boat which was missing EVERYTHING back there (all metal parts and the rudders)due to vandalism, and the parts added up to well over $1000...and a hull with a repaired bullet holes (the glue seemed to be holding fairly well). I ended up passing on it even though they were giving it away via a moving sale done via an estate/auction. My wife vetoed buying it, too scared of the issues.
Funny thing is the area seemed to be near when I bought my H16 (in very good condition) 18 years ago...sure enough, when I got there (100 miles away), it was the same house!!! Getaway was not at all in good shape though.
